Man, they still don't have a native grid fill? And that's why I left. They take forever to add useful things that everyone else already has.

@@ArmoredColony This is what happen when u are too comfy with no competition over the years with an already stablished workflow that lasted for more than 10 years. 2024 and these dudes still using F9 F10 and F11 shortcuts for vertex edge and face selection who tf use those F's man. Another thing is they dont have inset is an extrude with an offset.... that wasnt family friendly when i was navigating through the tools at all. My bosses repeat like dinosaurs "Maya is industry standard" and i was like yea i know mf but u are teaching how to model and this software is not optimal for poly modelling u have better options like Blender even 3Ds max is better.

@@Damian_h surprised they don't let you use Max either. But I guess if they're paying the bills you gotta do whatever they say.

@@ArmoredColony I asked them the same question wouldnt be better to use MAX Cat system for beginner rigging is super handy and its interface is more family friendly even the edit poly is easy to understand. The reply i got was something like Only the Indians and the Arabs use Max, "Maya is industry standard". I was like Bitch i swear...

XD

I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question.

​@@ArmoredColony When i Work with a tool in local Symetri and this tool is not alaigned verticaI and I apply Zremesher that topology is not mirrored correctly, I need to aligned vertical and after aply Zremesher

Not every tool in ZBrush works with Dynamic Local Symmetry yet. Unfortunately, my plugin can't fix that. We just have to wait and hope that Maxon enables this kind of symmetry for more tools like zremesher.

@@macronomicus that's a good idea. I already have zoom to region on a side button (I love to control the zoom by drawing a rectangle and zooming into that shape).

@hongoid - If I clean it, I will lose all the specs of dust. Without specs, there is no PC.

​@@ArmoredColony damn😂

Yo

I imagine it's a lot more comfortable. I saw a guy use the S key to orbit, but that was in 3ds max.

Thank you, friend

You answered the question yourself :p I thought the XCOM snake aliens looked cool, so I made my own version.

@@ArmoredColony Keep up the good work, my fellow man of culture.

*nod*

Thanks, friend. Glad you liked.

The Armored Toolkit? Yes. But you don't need it. It's mostly extra scripts and matcaps.

Nooooice

Thank you so much for your support! I was actually thinking about that a few minutes ago. A tutorial covering how to transition from modeling in Maya to Blender.

@@ArmoredColony If I may add, I think there are lots of people like me (expert generalists), with decades of experience hence muscle memory attached to shelves, icons and "visual memory" and not keen to shortcuts... and non destructive stacks. I really admire the younger generations ability to rewire their modeling workflow from Maya to Blender. Thanks for your Reply J!

@juanpaulomardonez9151 Yeah, it can be quite frustrating, but I enjoy trying new things, but I'm in my 30s so I'm not super young :p

In my 50s here LMAO! THANKS!!!

@juanpaulomardonez9151 ahh, one of the elders, did you always use Maya?

Makes me happy to hear, thanks.

@devmod37 thank you, kind person

Thanks, friend

Thank you for your kind words.

Amen, brother

Indeed

Thanks for your support, friend

Oh it's lovely, been using it myself.

Thanks Mr, Uebler. Love your stuff!

Yes it is. I still got my 2022 Pixologic License too.

@@ArmoredColony I'm gonna go buy it right now.

Thank you very much for your support!

Select the edge borders, press Ctrl+E and choose "Bridge Edges"

Thanks friend

Create a curve however you like, then select it and press "J" to activate the addon. Press 1, 2 or 3 for different styles. Press 2 for array curves (chains, etc). Then scroll on your mouse to pick a different preset.

I'm not on the PC right now, thanks again, hopefully I can get it working now. I'm a beginner!

No problem

Thanks friend

@@mutedsounds2k try out BL 4.2. It's still a modifier but they added the option back in the context menu, so you can add it just as fast as before.

@@ArmoredColony Not only as fast, but also for arrays, duplicates and so on and so on. But... did they really add it back? I'd be so glad to install Blender 4.2 and replace the old 4.0.2!

The single button you click for autosmothing? Yes. But it creates the new modifier for you and pins it to the bottom of the modifier stack so you don't have to constantly move it around.

@@ArmoredColony But then it's NOT inherited to all the duplicates, AFAIK. As with all modifiers

@@ArmoredColony By the way, I mean the AutoSmooth context menu item, which added the AutoSmooth option in the Geometry tab, with a default angle of 30°

@@22adis try MMB (scroll wheel).

What is MMB? I'm beginner sorry

Middle Mouse Button (scroll wheel).

Thanks🤣

@@22adis haha, no problem

@@dubwork I have not developed it further, but it still works. I do want to make version 2.0 someday with geometry nodes, but I can't say when that will be.

I thought I was going crazy for a second

Yes. You can create custom menus with your favorite UI items and then assign a hotkey to it. You can hotkey any UI button or menu in zbrush.

Sounds reasonable.

You can add a Decimate modifier at the end to bring the polycount down.

@EduardoFlores-uk4ys - hi friend, you can get them from a few places: armoredcolony.com/b/cybermuscles Or ArtStation: artstn.co/m/mjx5V

Plasticity could also be useful.

@@ArmoredColony Will take a look at it

Alrighty, gimme a couple days

No problemo

Then Maya would probably suit you better, if you can get around the pricing. They do everything with these sort of contextual Pie Menus. Used it for years without setting custom hotkeys.

@@ArmoredColony Yeahhh no... I've used the Autodesk suite for years, until my student copy got so outdated Windows wouldn't allow it to be installed no more. I pretty much was torn away 3DS Max and thrust into Blender, kickin and screaming. Blender is a pain, but once comfortable with it, you really can't beat it. I've just learned to be really really quick with the mouse LOL. Once in a while I pick up a few hot keys. My latest one (fake applause here) is shift-V for edge slide. Anyhoo thank you for a great tutorial.

I was equally frustrated. It forced me to learn scripting in blender to fix/change some stuff I didn't like, which was a lot :p But now I'm happy enough I don't think I'll ever leave. There's a dedicated hotkey for edge slide? I overrided Shift V with something else so I missed it. I just double-tap G now for sliding verts, which I assume gives a similar result. And thank you for your support.

@@My2Cents1 since you mentioned 3ds max, I also made this script to mimic the Connect tool. I use it all the time: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haK7l4OLr8uSpdUsi=0OLipay7NhM2T4nk
